Happy Friday!
Presenting, my swoon list for the week that was! :
x Discovering New Treasure Troves - One of the very best things about working in a new area is the fabulous opportunity to discover an array of unfamiliar retail haunts, and gosh, have I found a few! From the delectable German bakery which offers treats such as poppyseed slice (poppyseeds soaked in vanilla cream overnight and then drizzled with caramel, drool!), to the gourmet delicatessen which stacks everything from fresh pasta to exquisite ice-cream in flavours such as 'Coconut Macaroon' and 'Peanut Butter Disaster' (the only potential disaster that I can see is the fact that I'm going to become completely ADDICTED TO IT!) and the recycled designer fashion boutique on the corner, I'm in browsing (and buying!) heaven!
x Lusting After Tim Walker's Pictures - Tim Walker is a London based fashion photographer and while I've mentioned my love for his work before, holy heck, it bears repeating: his creations are STUNNING! If I owned this book I would probably remove each page, stick every single one of them on my bedroom wall, and stare at them all day. (So um, it's possibly a really, really good idea that I don't, productivity wise, but ugh! They're so beautiful!)
x The Hotel Missoni - And while I'm still riding the lust train, let's hop off at the very next stop.. The Hotel Missoni! Oh my GOODNESS! I have always swooned over the intricacy and use of colour involved in Missoni's fashion designs, and guess what?! They have a hotel! How did I not know about this?! I'm sure that the price tag of a night's stay there would be absolutely terrifying, but the experience would be phenomenal. I mean, look at the way they craft their BATHROOMS! Mind-boggling!
x Other Little Things - Stretching; invites; my friend Carmen's amazing graphic design skills (she knows so much, it is incredible! I am constantly picking her brain!), and her hilarious e-mails which keep me entertained every single day; Ashe Mischief's article, 'Stop Getting Low-Balled As A Blogger' (nod, nod, nod!); green grapes; the way the sunlight streams through my apartment in the morning; flicking through newspapers; assertiveness; sitting at outdoor cafes`; cuddling; the fact that every Saturday morning, without fail, my boyfriend wakes up ultra early to go to the laundromat and do our washing (we're naughty and haven't bought our own machine yet, gulp!), so that I can sleep in!; trawling through pages of accommodation options for different cities (one of my favourite activities); being super organised and remembering to cook lots of yummy food for busy weeks ahead; The Gypsy Kings; Faith No More; octopi; challenging my brain; and peppermint hot chocolate!

What are you head over heels for this week?
